During the war periodthere was less attention paid to theselimitations, for the. traffic had to bokept moving regardless of cost andthe number of men employed was limited only by the number that couldbe gotten.With .the termination of the war,followed later by a slump in traffic, itbecame necessary to curtail expensesand when the recent'monthly allowances were prescribed, there was noalternative for the division and department heads but to reduce forceswhen it was found that the allowancewas considerably below that givenduring the past year.Wages Higher NowThe total amount allowed is stilllarge, for it will be recalled that theshops were running full blast with alarge complement of men during thelater part of 1917 and the early partof 1918. But wages are higher nowthan they were then and that meansthat a smaller number of men can beemployed.Another thing that enters into thesituation is the cost of materials.These have been high and there hasbeen little or no reduction in theircost thus far and probably will notbe for some time.The reduction of forces to make expenses meet the budget is still In progress and each day a number of menare being laid off, the foremen proceeding with the unpleasant taskwhich confronts them as the situationdevelops.Sunbury Division Men• Arrested For Car TheftsH.
